[Doc_Technical]

1. Bloodrock- 'D.O.A."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzUpVyOdXek

[WillyT]

3. Wow... That Was Precisely The First Song That Came To My Mind !!!

:wow:

Haven't heard it in 30 years, but it made an impact.

:hi:

[jobycom]

4. It was one of the first to pop into my mind, too. nt

[kentauros]

6. I may or may not have heard this

but I likely have (sounds familiar, so it would probably have only aired on public radio locally.)

It's good... and dark :)

[mockmonkey]

27. Amazing

I heard that once when I was a kid. My cousins were playing the record. I hadn't heard it again until this post. I've have always wondered who did it.

[fishwax]

79. boy, I haven't heard that song in years

[nolabear]

110. When I was a teenager and inclined to sleep with a radio under my pillow

that song scared me shitless in the middle of the night quite a few times.

[gmoney]

2. deleted

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. "Timothy" the Buoys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGNdvKvbxYQ

[abq e streeter]

21. Damn--beat me to it...warped minds think alike I guess; now I gotta come up with another one

[pink-o]

88. That song turned me into a vegetarian at aged 16!

40 years later, I'm still one. So I guess I owe those guys.

[General Zod]

102. That was written by Rupert Holmes

You know, the same guy who wrote Escape(The Pina Colada Song).

[abq e streeter]

120. Wow, never knew that...props to Rupert for that; lets him off the hook for The Pina Colada Song

[DBoon]

7. Husker Du "Diane"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqnvmlGeCKk

[XemaSab]

8. Prison Sex by Tool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf1vC8ubnkY

[kentauros]

11. Is the animation by the Brothers Quay?

Because it sure does look like one of theirs :D

[ccinamon]

9. Tom Lehrer - I Hold Your Hand In Mine

I think it's a hysterically funny and twisted song....and every now and then I can get my husband to sing it to me....I always end up laughing!


I hold your hand in mine, dear,
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite
From your dainty fingertips.

My joy would be complete, dear,
If you were only here,
But still I keep your hand
As a precious souvenir.

The night you died I cut it off.
I really don't know why.
For now each time I kiss it
I get bloodstains on my tie.

I'm sorry now I killed you,
For our love was something fine,
And till they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine.

[sohndrsmith]

10. Mack The Knife. Bohemian Rhapsody (...makes me cry only because

I get it now, and it's personal). I miss you, Dad...

Miss Otis Regrets. (...woman can't keep lunch date - she's being hanged)

Mommy, Can I Come Home ('Keb 'Mo. ...if you aren't affected, I won't believe you)

Tomorrow Belongs To Me (I know, Kander/Ebb, but it still gives me chills)

Waters of March (McCorkle. ...beautiful, but - something about it)

[LeftyMom]

12. This may be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

Between the song lyrics and the costume. At least they left out the sound effects and screaming from the album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFFPDERsOmI

But now you'll all know our dark secret: eating foodies is totally vegan. Look out Michael Pollan. :evilgrin:

edit: and now you all know where my sig line is from. Though I think I've mentioned that before.

[kentauros]

14. The sound quality makes it difficult to understand

but I like the concept

[LeftyMom]

16. Here are the lyrics.

Lyrics:

I swear I did my best to ensure that
His final moments were swift and free from fear
But consideration should be made for the fact
That Sandor Katz was my first kill
So I trust the reader will

Understand that while the screams may well have seemed
Like conscious objections they were in reality
Simply a request to honour his strength and speed
With gratitude and tenderness I seared every single hair from his body
Gently placed his decapitated head in a stock pot
Boiled off his flesh and made a spreadable head cheese

Because I believe that one can only relate with
Another living creature by completely destroying it
I’m sure Sandors’ friends and family would appreciate this
A rationale so moronic it defies belief
Post-vegetarian I must submit to you respectfully
Be careful what kind of world you wish for
Someday it may come knocking on your door

Let me in…Let me the fuck in!
I just wanna
Fully relate

I swear I’ll do my best to ensure that
Your final moments are swift and free from fear

Edited to fix lyrics posted on the tubes by somebody who either couldn't hear, couldn't spell, or both.

[kentauros]

20. Thanks!

I wonder if Dahmer ever knew about this song... or was this post-Dahmer?

[LeftyMom]

22. That song came out >1 year ago.

The song is about the problems with the "humane meat" trend from a vegan/AR perspective, fwiw.

[kentauros]

24. Okay

Does the "humane-meat" trend included "lab meat", that is, meat grown in a lab?

That could make another twisted song, too ;)

[LeftyMom]

25. AFAIK, lab meat gives foodies the twitchies.

Which would be something they and vegans actually have in common.

[kentauros]

26. It's just that on another board I used to go to (veggieboards)

some of even the vegans said they'd eat lab-meat if it ever got to store shelves. I wouldn't, but not because I'm a foodie ;)

[denbot]

13. Cold Ethel, Alice Cooper.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUFO_04J1r4&feature=PlayList&p=314EF5095A44BD2D&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=19


One thing I miss is Cold Ethyl and her skeleton kiss
We met last night making love under the refrigerator light
Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms

One thing
No lie
Ethyl's frigid as an eskimo pie
She's cool in bed
Well she oughta be 'cuz Ethyl's dead

Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
Come on Cold Ethyl
Freeze me babe

One thing - it's true
Cold Ethyl I am stuck on you
And everything is my way
Ethyl don't have much to say

Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
Come here Cold Ethyl
What makes you so cold? Ooh so cold

Cold Ethyl
Cold Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl
Cold Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl
Cold Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl
Cold Cold Ethyl
If I live 'til ninety-seven
You'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven
'cuz you're cool
You're on ice
Cold Ethyl
You're my paradise

[LostInAnomie]

15. You're 16, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine - Johnny Burnette

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjy-OMIyXbg

[Forkboy]

17. Khanate - Dead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Ag4B4m0Cs

This song deals with suicide in a rather disturbing manner, so if people are sensitive to that it would be wise to just pass on this.

[Common Sense Party]

18. Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmq3acdgmO8

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

[TicketyBoo]

30. That's the one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eUsSXXc8wU

which came to my mind.

Does Dead Skunk count?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doqTSev-_lQ

Edited to include the link to Excitable Boy.

[Common Sense Party]

43. Whoops. I pasted the wrong link. Thanks for putting the Zevon

link there.

[TicketyBoo]

105. You're welcome. n/t

[Paladin]

47. I Heard "Werewolves Of London" The Other Day.......

....for the first time in a number of years. No question about it: Zevon was a genius........

[nomorenomore08]

73. Hilarious song - werewolves causing carnage and mayhem, and having impeccable fashion sense

while doing so. "I saw a werewolf sippin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's... his hair was perfect." :rofl:

[bluesbassman]

19. Black Sabbath - War Pigs (Live in Paris 1970)

This live version has some extra lyrics that aren't on the studio cut.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtqy4DTHGqg

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!

Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!

[abq e streeter]

23. Laurie, by Dickie Lee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0N4nyYS5aA

[rockymountaindem]

42. Yeah that's a strange one

He has another song like that called patches in which his girlfriend commits suicide because their parents have forbidden them to get married. Then the singer promises to do the same and the song ends. I'm not sure what was going on in the 50s that so many splatter platters were popular, but they are an odd sub-genre.

[abq e streeter]

45. Yup, I remember Patches well, too ( giving away my age here) "it may not be right,

but I'll join you tonight"....Yeah, there was a little cluster of morbid hit songs ...Tell Laura I Love Her, Teen Angel are others that come to mind,along with Last Kiss a few years after these ( redone , in a great version, by Eddie Vedder) but enough of 'em that Bob Luman recorded Let's Think About Livin' as an answer to all that morbidity.

[Sky Masterson]

28. No Reply.. The Beatles

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
Cos I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your door

I nearly died, I nearly died
Cos you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place

If I were you I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no reply

Basically
If you understand how I feel and that I'm the guy for you,
and quit ignoring me soon
I'll forgive you for avoiding me.
I've been spying on you and I know you're are lying.
Very Glen Close-ish

[flying rabbit]

29. The Toadies -Possum Kingdom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwD5rQ-_d4

Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...

Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus

I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

(hey, hey, hey)

Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!

Be my angel

Be my angel

Do you wanna die? (x8)

I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus...

me at home on Wednesday evening.
"Oh...hi...uh...let me just turn this down"

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. The Beatles - Happiness is a warm gun

Shes not a girl who misses much.
Do do do do do do do do
Shes well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust.
I need a fix cause Im going down.
Down to the bits that I left uptown.
I need a fix cause Im going down.
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun.
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun.
Yes it is.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. Carmelita, by: Warren Zevon

I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin

41. "Dachau Cabana" by the Vandals.

[baldguy]

44. The Police - Every Breath You Take

A stalkers' anthem if there ever was one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEnJDaqT3-0

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see you belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Oh can't you see you belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take, I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you


And considering that Sting used to be a school teacher:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1hVOz_NwXI

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girls an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
Its no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

[blue neen]

60. People actually have "Every Breath You Take" played at their weddings.

Not a great start to a marriage, if you ask me!

[MiddleFingerMom]

95. That's disturbing.

.
However... I saw Sting do that song in the context of an Amnesty International
concert -- and it changed the entire perspective from uber-creepy to noble.

46. Sick Sick song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shkMsJyzDUo

[abq e streeter]

49. I'd completely forgotten about this one; but yeah, sick but funnier than hell at the same time

[alfredo]

sure that it got introduced to a new generation.

This one also go pulled from the air

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euaH8mUiFHs

[abq e streeter]

66. Warped minds think alike; I was about to post Transfusion earlier, but got distracted

and didn't get around to it. Never knew Transfusion had gotten pulled though.

[alfredo]

68. It was in my area. They said it glamorized reckless driving.

[Iggo]

48. Anything by Battle Of Mice.

Here's a good one:

51. The Sisters of Mercy and Alice in Chains come in tied for me...

The Sisters of Mercy - "Ribbons"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOcbv8lkFQk

Lyrics:
I'm lying on my back now
The stars look all too near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you're here
We are few
And far between
I was thinking about her skin

Love is a many splintered thing
Don't be afraid now
Just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)

Her eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
Crashing out of you
So just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)

Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her
About Marx and Engels, God and Angels
I don't really know what for
But she looked good in ribbons

So just walk on in
She looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in

Tie a red red red red red red ribbon
Love is a many splintered thing
Tie a red red red red ribbon
Don't be afraid
Just walk on in


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Alice In Chains - "Love Hate Love"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPFGsGlHeos

Lyrics:
I tried to love you; I thought I could
I tried to own you; I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste

You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel- you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell

Cheating myself; still you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world

Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hands before I kill
I still love you, I still burn

[Tuesday Afternoon]

52. Burn Down The Mission - Elton John

You tell me there's an angel in your tree.
Did he say he'd come to call on me?
For things are getting desperate in our home,
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know.

Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside.
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide.
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps.
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep.

Burn down the mission,
If we're gonna stay alive.
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven,
See the red flame light the sky.

Burn down the mission,
Burn it down to stay alive.
It's our only chance of living,
Take all you need to live inside.

Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today.
My wife cried when they came to take me away.
But what more could I do just to keep her warm,
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls?

Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside.
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide.
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps.
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep.

Burn down the mission,
If we're gonna stay alive.
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven,
See the red flame light the sky.

Burn down the mission,
Burn it down to stay alive.
It's our only chance of living,
Take all you need to live inside.

54. Guadalcanal Diary, "Please Stop Me"

A sweetly melodic country/janglepop melody hides a set of lyrics written from a serial killer's POV:

The mirror catches everything in lovely shades of red
Pools of scarlet running from the hollows of her bed
She said she'd never hurt me, as I locked the door
Please stop me, before I kill more

I've been trying to wake up from a dream that's lasted years]
Tonight I fell forever through a dream that ended here
Someone come and pick me up from the pieces on the floor
Please stop me, before I kill more

One day a rain will come and wash the streets all clean
But until that rain appears, the job is mine it seems
They're looking for me, everwhere, but I don't know what for
Please stop me, before I kill more

I try to catch my mind, but it leaves me like before
Please stop me, before I kill more
Please stop me, before I kill more
Please stop me

Sorry, but it was a deep album track, so there's no video out there.

[Ptah]

56. Hey Joe

JIMI HENDRIX - rare version 03/07/1967 belgium -HEY JOE

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand

I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, I've heard you shot your woman down,
Shot her down, now
I said I've heard you shot your old lady down,
You shot her down to the ground

Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught her messin' round, messin' round town
Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town
And I gave her the gun
I SHOT HER!

Hey Joe, alright
Shoot her one more time, baby

Hey Joe, said now
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now?
Where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig it

I'm goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Alright!
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me

Ain't no hangman gonna,
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now
I gotta go now
Hey Joe, you better run on down
Good by everybody
Hey Joe, uhh
Run on down

[dysfunctional press]

57. i wanted that to be our 'first dance' at our wedding reception, but my wife refused...

so we went with "what's love got to do with it?" instead.

104. Apparently that song was huge on the hippie folksinger circuit

before Hendrix covered it.

67. Geez, warped minds really do think alike...see my post; Napoleon the XIV above.

Considering the fact that it's pretty obvious that you and I think alike, I strongly urge you to immediately check yourself into the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time .

[alfredo]

69. I'd rather sit home and sip some Chianti.

[kentauros]

[LoZoccolo]

65. "Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide

Me and a friend knew some other guys who liked to get stoned, and we hatched this plot to make it out to be some really funny song that will make you laugh when you are high! They made us turn it off not long after the screaming started.

[nomorenomore08]

76. Ha! Beautiful!

That said, though, I pray I never hear that song during an acid trip or similar experience... :scared:

70. "The Illinois Enema Bandit" - FZ

(A true story, by the way, and safer to post than some other stuff I have)


The Illinois Enema Bandit
I heard he's on the loose
I heard he's on the loose
Lord, the pitiful screams
Of all them college-educated women . . .
Boy, he'd just be tyin' 'em up
(They'd be all bound down!)
Just be pumpin' every one of 'em up with all the bag fulla
The Illinois Enema Bandit Juice
He just be pumpin' every one of 'em up with all the bag fulla
The Illinois Enema Bandit Juice

The Illinois Enema Bandit ! heard it on the news !
I heard it on the news
Bloomington Illinois ... he has caused some alarm
Just sneakin' around there
From farm to farm
Got a rubberized bag
And a hose on his arm
Lookin' for some rustic co-ed rump
That he just might wanna pump

The Illinois Enema Bandit
Some day he'll have to pay
Some day he'll have to pay
The police will say, "You're under arrest!"
And the judge would have him for a special guest
The D.A. will order a secret test
And stuff his pudgy little thumbs in the side of his vest
Then they'll put out a call for the jury folks
And the judge would say, "No poo-poo jokesl"
Then they'll drag in the bandit for all to see,
Saying "Don't nobody have no sympathy . . .
HOT SOAPY WATER in the FIRST DEGREE!"
And the Bandit might say, "Why is everbody always pickin' on me?"

WELL DID YOU CAUSE THIS MISERY?
WELL DID YOU CAUSE THIS MISERY?
WELL DID YOU CAUSE THIS MISERY?
One girl shout: "Let the Bandit be!"

BANDIT ARE YOU GUILTY?
TELL ME, WHAT'S YOUR PLEA?

[kayakjohnny]

71. One of the worst ever in my opinion. I still can't believe it when I hear it.

And I heard it a few hours ago....

Beatles. 'Run for your life'

Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or you won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na

77. The Irish Ballad, by Tom Lehrer

About a maid I'll sing a song
Sing rickety tickety tin
About a maid I'll sing a song
Who didn't have her family long
Not only did she do them wrong
She did every one of them in, them in
She did every one of them in.

One morning in a fit of pique
Sing rickety tickety tin
One morning in a fit of pique
She drowned her father in the creek
The water tasted bad for a week
And we had to make do with gin, with gin
We had to make do with gin

Her mother she could never stand
Sing rickety tickety tin
Her mother she could never stand
And so a cyanide soup she planned
The mother died with the spoon in her hand
And her face in a hideous grin, a grin
He face in a hideous grin.

She weighted her brother down with stones
Sing rickety tickety tin
She weighted her brother down with stones
And sent him off to Davey Jones
All they ever found were some bones
And occasional pieces of skin, of skin
Occasional pieces of skin.

She set her sister's hair on fire
Sing rickety tickety tin
She set her sister's hair on fire
And as the smoke and flame rose higher
Danced around the funeral pyre
Playing a violin, olin
Playing a violin.

One day she had nothing to do
Sing rickety tickety tin
One day she had nothing to do
She cut her baby brother in two
And served him up as an Irish stew
And invited the neighbors in, bors in
Invited the neighbors in.

And when at last the police came by
Sing rickety tickety tin
And when at last the police came by
Her little pranks she did not deny
To do so she would have had to lie
And lying she knew was a sin, a sin
And lying she knew was a sin.

And just one thing before I go
Sing rickety tickety tin
And just one thing before I go
There's something I think that you ought to know
They had no proof, so they let her go
And they say that she's tall and thin, and thin
They say that she's tall and thin.

My tragic tale I won't prolong
Sing rickety tickety tin
My tragic tale I won't prolong
I hope you lile my little song
You've yourself to blame if it's too long
You should never have let me begin, begin
You should never have let me begin.

[nomorenomore08]

80. Echo and the Bunnymen - "Over the Wall"

Not the most disturbing song ever written, by any means, but it just... gets to me... somehow, and I wonder what the hell he's talking about. Obsessive love? Drug addiction? Both?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xMDIuqCxtg

The man at the back has a question
His tongue's involved with solutions
But the monkey on my back
Won't stop laughing

Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall

There's something to be said for you
And your hopes of higher ruling
But the slug on my neck
Won't stop chewing

Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall

I'm walking in the rain
To end this misery
I'm walking in the rain
To celebrate this misery
What's that you say?
Speak up, I can't hear you
What do you say?
I couldn't hear you

Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall

Out on the road coast to coast
Out on the road coast to coast

I'm over the wall
I'm over the wall
I'm over the wall
Come over the wall
Come over the wall

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
I can't sleep at night
Come on and hold me tight...

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
Come on and hold me tight

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
Come on and hold me tight
Come on and hold me tight

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
To my logical limit
To the logical limit
To my logical limit
To the logical limit

[Biker13]

81. "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger

This one ROCKS!!

I had visions, I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
to see a little bit clearer, the
rottenness and evil in me
Fingertips have memories
mine can't forget the curves of your body
and when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)
I'm not sick but I'm not well
and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
Been around the world and found
that only stupid people are breeding
the cretins cloning and feeding
and I don't even own a TV
Put me in the hospital for nerves
and then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, god damn you!
I'm not sick but I'm not well
and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well
I wanna publish zines
and rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
the trivial sublime
I'd like to turn off time
and kill my mind
you kill my mind
Paranoia paranoia
everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm going underground with the moles (diggin' holes)
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring
but if you're bored then you're boring
the agony and the irony, they're killing me!
I'm not sick but I'm not well
and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well

82. The Who's "Boris the Spider" (Entwhistle, of course)

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

87. "My boyfriend's back"

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'
Now, you're gonna get a beatin'
What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
You're a big man now, but he'll cut you down to size
Wait and see!

[Urban Prairie]

89. My favorite disturbing lyrics:

Henry Rollins: Liar

You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now you're desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and your whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses,
'cause I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?

'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you're needing me is just the time
That I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... you wanna know why?

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar,
ooh, I'm a liar
But if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
They're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you,
I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance,
I'll never lie to you again, no!!
I swear, I will never tell a lie,
I will never tell a lie, no, no...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa!!
sucker!!
sucker!!!
sucker!!!!

I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good,
I like it, and again
I like it again

And I'll KEEP lying,


I promise!!!

[Ikonoklast]

91. Saw Henry perform that live.

'Disturbing' is putting it mildly.

'God-damn fucking scary' was more like it.


I love Henry.

[nomorenomore08]

92. He's got more disturbing stuff than that, believe me...

Look up "Gun in Mouth Blues" or "Planet Joe" (or anything from the supposedly tongue-in-cheek 'Drive-By Shooting' EP).

[Tikki]

90. "Jack on Fire", "Ghost on the Highway" and "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene"...

or maybe they are just great songs with curious lyric...

"Jack on Fire"....Gun Club

"Johnny Hit and Run Paulene".....X

"Ghost on the Highway"....Gun Club

[nomorenomore08]

93. Yay for the Gun Club! And that X tune is pretty classic as well.

Jeffrey Lee Pierce sure had a way with a violent, jarring lyric, didn't he?

[Tikki]

94. Jeffrey Lee Pierce was...

An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery.....
an amazing talent and I surely miss him...

[HughBeaumont]

96. Anything by A.C., The Mentors, Cannibal Corpse, Vaginal Jesus or Carnivore.

[LoZoccolo]

97. "Tales of Taboo" by Karen Finley

A lot of these are 70s-80s post-punk I noticed. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

[Forkboy]

98. I actually have the most twisted and disturbing song ever made...only I can't link to it.

My friend took a recording of a porn movie with an interview between the director and the female actress. When the guy asks how old she is she says "24, with a lollipop", only my friend took that and pitched her voice to sound like a little girl and dropped the twenty part, hence the title "Four With A Lollipop". So the whole interview sounds like one with a little girl talking and an adult asking the questions. When I first heard it there was only the samples, but a week later he had added music behind it....Twinkle Twinkle Little Star pitched really slow. He said it added something, and I said, "Yeah, 5 to 10."

Even if it was up online somewhere (and it might be knowing him) I wouldn't link to it. It's demented even by my low standards. But trust me, it wins this little competition hands down! ;)

[kentauros]

111. Who said this is a competition? :)

To me it's more indicative of how insane we all truly are. Is it the politics that does that to us?

[Forkboy]

114. No, I don't think I can blame the politics for my crazy.

:D

[kentauros]

116. I'll buy that for a dollar!

101. Jim Carroll Band--People Who Died

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkur2epZhyc&feature=related


Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
I salute you my brother

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly . . . Tony died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous,
but it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
by the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
This song is for you my brother

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died

109. Einsturzende Neubauten - Haus der Luge

Here's a translation of the lyrics (original in German)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j9xtEFoydI

Prolog

First floor:
Here live the blind
who believe what they see
and the deaf
who believe what they hear
bound and gagged to kitchen-stool
sits a fool, who believes
in all he can feel
(his hands in his lap)

Second floor:
roll after roll
length after length
in woodchip wallpaper
lone tenants stand around
observing the walls with frowns
searching row by row
looking for printing and spelling mistakes
they couldn't even decipher their own names

Up to the next floor!
Which, oh wonder! Never completed
can only be reached by the stairs
–
-
-
-
-
-
-
here are stored errors, which belong to the firm
and with which they tile the floors
upon these none may tread

Fourth floor:
here lives the architect
immersed in his plan of
this building crammed with ideas
it stretches from funda- to firmament
and from it`s foundations to the firm

In the ground floor.
there are four doors
they lead
directly out-of-doors
or more precisely: to the corner-stone
he who wants to can wait there
the concrete's coming at twelve
corner-stone lego
thought passages are painted over
in head-height brown
infamous or catholic purple
for better orientation

Top floor:
has some damage
in the rafters an old man sits
dead angels are strewn across the floor
(their faces resemble his)
between his knees he holds a gun
he aims it at his mouth
and into the skull
and out of the skull
and out of the skull's other side
into the roof's apex
drills that bullet

god has shot himself
now a topfloor can be renovated
god has shot himself
now a top floor can be renovated
lies, lies
a top floor can be renovated

[kentauros]

113. Everyone's Gone To The Movies - Steely Dan

I always thought it was a cool song until I actually read the lyrics. Now I think it's a twisted cool song. Note: requires that you be old enough to remember analog-format movies to get the full effect. :P

--------------------------------

Kids if you want some fun
Mr. LaPage is your man
He's always laughing, having fun
Showing his films in the den
Come on, come on
Soon you will be eighteen
I think you know what I mean
Don't tell your mama
Your daddy or mama
They'll never know where you been

CHORUS:
Everyone's gone to the movies
Now we're alone at last

Listen to what I say
He wants to show you the way
Right down the hallway with open arms
To teach you a new game to play
Come on, come on
Soon it will be too late
Bobbing for apples can wait
We know you're used to sixteen or more
Sorry we only have eight

CHORUS

Kids if you want some fun
See what you never have seen
Take off your cheaters and sit right down
Start the projection machine

CHORUS
